I like this performance very much. It consists of two parts. The first part shows old traditional Lanna dance. It is very graceful and haunting for me. I want to adapt it to use it in a haunting film in the same way as the singer scene in ERASERHEAD.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tJiWzZqvL0

The second part shows the lifestyles of some northern Thai people in the present day, and focuses on the fluidity of cultures, or the flux between the old and the new culture, or something like that. It reminds me of some Thai films such as the films of Apichatpong.
